SiteLine System Aims to Improve Visibility on Paving Jobsites

Astec Industries, Chattanooga, displayed its new SiteLine™ operator environmental awareness camera system for its cold planers during WOA. The technology empowers operators with a panoramic view of their surroundings, enhancing safety and efficiency on the job site by being able to view previously unseen obstructions.

Key Features:

• Panoramic View: The SiteLine system provides a custom panoramic view around mobile equipment, starting with the cold planer products, eliminating blind spots and potential hazards.
• Seamless Stitching: Advanced image processing stitches multiple camera feeds together, creating a natural and uninterrupted view for the operator.
• Enhanced Safety: This comprehensive view empowers operators to identify and avoid potential hazards, promoting a safer work environment for themselves and their colleagues.
• Increased Efficiency: Improved situational awareness allows operators to work more efficiently and confidently, leading to faster project completion times.
• Zoom In Feature: Ability to tap any one of the camera screens to zoom in and get a close look at a specific area of the machine, then be able to return to the bird’s eye view.

“The SiteLine camera system represents a significant leap forward in the realm of road construction safety,” said Tom Lenger, road recycling product manager at Astec Industries. “This cutting-edge technology is more than just a camera system; it’s a testament to our dedication to creating safe, more efficient job sites. By empowering operators with enhanced visibility and situational awareness, we’re not only protecting the workforce but also driving the success of our customers’ projects.”

Astec offers the SiteLine operator environmental awareness camera system as an option on Roadtec cold planers and has plans for expanding SiteLine across the full Roadtec road construction lineup, with upcoming AI enhancements and advanced safety features set for release in Q4 2025.
